REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD MAKE RARE WARNING TO VOTERS

Here we go again Liberty County voters. It is not likely,
but it is possible that we re-elect someone who in his past record of public
service so publicly violated ethical behavior.

Since news story after news story from the Cleveland Advocate to the
Houston Chronicle to all of the Houston television channels covered then
Liberty County Judge Phil Fitzgerald’s million dollar plus arrangement with his
brother-in-law to fill their pockets and profit off of the county’s response to
a hurricane and FEMA money, this will be Fitzgerald’s third time to try to win elective office.

As amazing as it is that Fitzgerald thinks of himself as a
viable candidate, if voters are new to the county or too busy to keep up with
the news, he will be right there on the ballot for anyone to cast their vote
for. The Republican Party has to allow him to run. In his first attempt to run
after embarrassing scandalous news reports were broadcast all across southeast
Texas attaching Liberty County to FEMA fraud when people were struggling just
to get a roof over their heads and food for the day, Fitzgerald continued to
run with President Obama as a Democrat as he asked voters to leave him in the
cat bird’s seat as County Judge. Multiple scandals, including but not limited
to stories about a mail theft and effort to fraudulently discredit a district
judge and cash payoffs in the courthouse for unethical legal referrals left
questions about Mark Beausoliel and Phil Fitzerald- questions that heretofore
have left them unelectable, but not for a lack of trying.

The 2018 Republican primary ballot will include three men
who have served one term as County Judge. Jay Knight, the incumbent, Craig
McNair, the County Judge that was edged out when Judge Knight was elected, and
Phil Fitzgerald. The unapologetic defiant County Judge before both of these men
that spent some of his ill gotten gain wearing out the federal courts and
successfully staying out of jail.

The Republican Party was never Fitzgerald’s home before
because like a captain on a sinking ship he was so proud and considered it an
honor to continue to run as a Democrat way beyond the time candidates that were
really more like Republicans or those who did not care about party affiliation
had switched. But after being stomped in a primary by an unknown carpetbagger,
Fitzgerald ran in the party he had ridiculed time and again... as he ran and lost badly in a
congressional race.

FEMA contracts for clean up can be quite lucrative and
securing a bid is cause for celebration I suppose. Forced to allow Fitzgerald
to spend more of his cash, Republicans have no choice but to print Fitzgerald’s
name on the ballot. All three of the candidates can be very charming and have
all had the public’s trust at one point. But Republicans need to make the rare
move of informing the public that Fitzgerald’s charm needs to be kept in the
private sector and no where near where Beausoliel’s stack of $100 bills or the
county’s mail room or big contracts let by the county.

The voters, not the party, should choose the next county
judge. But they deserve to know local Republicans who have worked hard to get
competitive candidates to help make this county strong, did not seek him out
and do not want him to be seen as representative of their efforts. The message
should be, “Stop running for office Phil!” We have two candidates and either of
them will make us proud. Be thankful for your freedom and avoid temptation.

This will be a non Presidential election year and traditionally that means a low voter turnout. Many of us regret these clowns were not prosecuted for some of their antics before, but we were told they would just fade away. But here they are. If memories have faded we can elect people that will keep Liberty County in the news again.

Looks like Fitzpak wants to cash in on a political job again. People that do not want to see him win sometimes say he is a nice man, but I hope voters help this "nice man" by sending him a message. Be thankful Federal prosecutors didn't finish what they started back in the days news stories informed us of what you did last time.
